Chapter 218: Lianzhong
"However, it is not impossible to join the 100-member club." Zhou Shuo thought for a while and said cautiously: "I definitely can't join, but Ms. Yu Qiong, the general manager of Liuer Software Company, is applying for a U.S. green card." It would be great if she could represent me in the 100 Club. ”
Zhou Shuo was also a little apprehensive when he said this, not just anyone can join the 100-person meeting. The requirements for members of the 100-person association are very high, and almost every member stands up, and the titles and honors that can be obtained can be written on an A4 paper.
The Chinese in the United States have only selected so many 100 or so people, and the difficulty of selection is much higher than that of provincial and ministerial officials in China. If you put it in 2014, all the owners who can get on the ship without money are all right. And this is a formal organization, and people are not Amway rat clubs, where is it so easy to be flexible.
Zhu Xinhua was quite concerned about Zhou Fulin's attitude, and he was a lot more honest when he said it before. She nodded cautiously and replied, "I can't say this for sure, wait until I go back and ask my mother." ”
It seems that Zhu Xinhua did not raise this topic on a temporary basis, but probably with a family task. The joining of the 100-person club requires the joint names of three members to be reviewed, and Zhu Liwen alone will definitely not boast about this.
Zhou Shuo has no regrets, and it is impossible for Zhu Xinhua to make an idea of this kind of thing. He pursed his lips and smiled, and said generously: "Then trouble Miss Zhu, you can come to me at any time if you have news." ”
Different from his breezy appearance, Zhou Shuo still cared very much about whether he could seize this opportunity and become a member of the 100-person association. Plainly. The Committee of 100 is the top political force of the Chinese in the entire American society, and even former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger is a general under its account. Engaged in politics, economics and academics. There are people in every field. If you can get on this big ship, you will have to do a lot of things.
The reason why Zhou Shuo made concessions to Netscape and Microsoft in terms of six-ear browser and six-ear IM. In the end, it is not because of the lack of support from the United States. If we can get the support of the Chinese in the United States this time, I don't have to worry about the pressure from the American society. These Chinese elites have a lot of influence in the upper class of the United States. Crucially, these Chinese elites are not tantamount to using this influence.
Zhou Shuo and Li Zhi left Zhou Fulin and Zhu Xinhua for a light meal, although the ingredients in the kitchen were not complete, the two couples got along happily. Only Pang Zhou, who is still single, can only vent his energy between knives, forks, bowls and chopsticks.
No way, although he has worked quite hard since he came to the United States. But the diet here is too high in calories, and the fat is always increasing and decreasing. Where is there a girl who can look at him.
"A single dog has no human rights!" Pang Zhou swept the food on the table fiercely, and thought angrily: "I don't lose weight, I eat everything, and the fat is refined to burn all the people who show affection!" ”
The two couples sat opposite each other, and Zhou Shuo felt that this was not bad. The world of two people is certainly sweet, but the four of them dating in a group are also unique. After all, people are still social animals, and social needs are always inevitable.
Zhou Fulin pulled Zhou Shuo, tilted his head while eating, and said, "Principal Zhou." When we were in China before, we didn't know each other. Now that I think about it, what I did at that time really made people blush. You have a lot of them, but don't mind. ”
Zhou Shuo glanced up at him. smiled and shook his head and said: "It's all over, speaking of which, I also deceived you of 10 million, just don't remember my hatred." ”
"How could that be!" Zhou Fulin hurriedly waved his hand exaggeratedly. laughed and said: "It's time to pay the tuition, my dad said that spending 10 million can wake me up." It's worth it! ”
He poked his head out and whispered in Zhou Shuo's ear: "It is said that Mr. Zhou, you are the God of Wealth of the Internet." Is there any good way to make a fortune, take care of your brother? My dad didn't care about the money, but I wanted to impress the old man. If I can earn this 10 million back, I will only have face when I return to China. If you show me the way, it's up to me to succeed or not, how about it? ”
Zhou Shuo looked at him differently, seeing that Zhou Fulin didn't look like he was joking, so he lowered his head and thought about it. Speaking of which, although the 10 million is considered ill-gotten gains, since Zhou Fulin has remorse, Zhou Shuo doesn't care about the beauty of adults. Anyway, there are too many dry goods in his entrainment, and it is impossible to cover everything. A sentence or two casually revealed is really enough for others to be used for a lifetime.
"Say it in advance, whether it is successful or not, I don't pack the ticket." Zhou Shuo also lowered his voice and stated in advance.
"Of course!" Zhou Fulin grinned at his back molars with a smile, and said excitedly: "If you give an opinion, I will share half of you if you earn, and I will never look for you if you lose." ”
Zhou Shuo shook his head with a smile, and said casually: "I don't need to divide half of it, you go to EA to find a person named Richard, who is working on a project called UO Network Genesis." If you believe me, you can go talk to him. ”
"Cyber Genesis?" Zhou Fulin kept the name in his mind and nodded vigorously.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, the two couples at the table patronized and kissed me, and most of the food went into Pang Zhou's stomach.
"Don't, don't mess with me! I have to slow down......" Pang Zhou waved his hand in shock, stopping Zhou Shuo's intention to pull him up.
Zhou Shuo shook his head and smiled helplessly at Zhou Fulin. In Pang Zhou's jealous eyes, he hugged Li Zhi's little waist and waved his hand to say goodbye to Zhou Fulin and Zhu Xinhua.
After sending two people away, Zhou Shuo was reminded by Zhou Fulin. He immediately called Shao Shiming's phone and asked him to come over once in the afternoon.
The solar energy in August consumed people's fuel, and when Shao Shiming arrived, he was also sweating. Even if the air conditioner is blown in the room for a long time, it is the same oily face.
Shao Shiming took the ice water from Li Zhi's hand, nodded in thanks, turned his head and complained to Zhou Shuo: "I heard that you woke up, and I wanted to come over in the morning." But there is something else on Microsoft's side, and I can't be separated. ”
"Microsoft decided to integrate the six-ear IM into windows95?" Zhou Shuo asked a little unexpectedly.
"It's not like our skills are good!" Shao Shiming said proudly: "Microsoft is not giving up, I know that they are still doing MSN development work internally. But with the same effect, their server load is three times that of ours, and the client is nearly 10M larger, how can this kind of thing be taken out to meet people? ”
"Don't underestimate Microsoft, they are serious and catching up very quickly." Zhou Shuo said cautiously.
Zhou Shuo didn't want to repeat the mistakes of Netscape, which was disdainful of IE's catch-up. He believes that with his own skills and first-mover advantage, he can not be afraid of Microsoft's competition. As a result, Bill announced that Netscape was the biggest competitor, and that he would concentrate the strength of the entire Microsoft team to catch up. At its peak, the IE project team numbered more than 1,000 people. One can imagine how terrifying Microsoft's Mobilization was.
"We're not vegetarians either!" Shao Shiming nodded seriously and said calmly: "The next version of the six-ear IM has been under development, Microsoft thought that we only had this development team of more than 20 people, where did we know that we have a support team of hundreds of people behind us." ”
Zhou Shuo saw that Shao Shiming did not have any proud attitude, so he was relieved a lot. However, he still said in a serious tone: "After all, China is far away, and we can only do some work on program implementation." You still have to pay attention to the specific feature development, pay more attention to the feedback of some American users, and don't lose touch with the market. ”
"I know it, don't worry." Although Shao Shiming has been doing a good job, he did not have a trace of impatience with Zhou Shuo's instructions.
Although the two are college classmates, Shao Shiming is still very able to put himself in the right position. Work is work, six ears IM is related to the foundation of the entire six ears software system, Zhou Shuo should have more snacks.
"By the way, is the program of the online board game you developed before?" Zhou Shuo changed his words and asked about the topic of this conversation.
"It's been perfected for a long time, but I don't know how you are so concerned about a tool for playing games." Shao Shiming complained rarely: "Zhou'er, you don't have a light burden now, don't lose your mind." ”
Shao Shiming has been in the United States for a long time, and he has long seen many young geniuses. They achieved something and then indulged in pleasure. In this world of flowers and flowers in the United States, it is too easy for rich people to fall into corruption. Although he believed that Zhou Shuo was not such a person, he always had to persuade him to say two sentences.
"Our next step is to count on this game." Zhou Shuo said with a smile: "Don't look down on games, the money you can make in this area is no less than that of making software." ”
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Shao Shiming didn't have any opinion on Zhou Shuo's words, since he said that games don't make less money than software, then it must be like this.
If anyone's vision can earn 500 million US dollars, then Shao Shiming will definitely believe anything. What's more, he witnessed Zhou Shuo's miracle with his own eyes, and he had already admired the five-body body in his heart.
Zhou Shuo picked up a copy of the plan from the cabinet on the side, handed it to Shao Shiming and said: "This matter has to be done by you and Yu Qiong, this time we will not sell the shares again, so we must be careful in our work." I think this new company is called Lianzhong. ”
"Lianzhong?" Shao Shiming opened the book and quickly browsed it.
"By the way, we're going to have to add some more servers, but the new ones aren't just in Seattle. You go to Las Vegas and set up a branch office, and we're going to set up a separate server there. (To be continued......)
